Vince McMahon Speaks on MMA & WWE Going PG, WWE Superstars Rating

– This past Thursday’s edition of WWE Superstars on WGN America scored an 0.8 rating and the replay later on did an 0.2.

– When talking about why WWE made the switch to PG on MercuryNews.com, Vince McMahon had the following to say: “We just followed our audience and tried to listen to them. It’s a more sophisticated product. It’s just the right move business-wise, but more specifically the right move in terms of reaching our audience.”

Vince was asked about MMA and UFC becoming more popular and said this: “You really can’t compete with that. Why not deliver a more sophisticated product and not go to those extremes? If the audience wants those extremes, they know where to go and how to get it.”

I do not agree with the WWE goin PG-13 it was better the way it was and at least way the way it was they were getting crowds and crowds of people viewing and now they are down on there ratings, well you can only blame one thing.

if vince wants to react to the wwe fans by making wwe PG.. what fans was he trying to react to when wwe wasn’t PG? and when it was wwf? i think he should reconsider this act of PG and take it away! hope wwe reads these comments and takes note!
